DRuMMERs, LICENSE TAX.
Testing tho Legality OF the Act Before
tho Court in Banc,

The court in general term yesterday heard
The case Of Henneck, habeas corpus, in which
is involved the legality Of the license tax i'm
posed upon commercial agents, and reserved
their decision. This case was brought up
nom the police court, and could only be taken
up In this way. He was arrested on the charge
OF violating the commercial agents license
act passed by the District legislature. The
petition claims that the Legislature only had
municipal powers, and could not legislato on
general subjects, and that Congress could not
give II the power to do so, and II Is certain
that Congress would not delegate Its power
over n great national Interstate question to n
mere municipal body. 1t Is submitted that
the recent decision OF the Supreme Court OF
the United States is universal, and cats up
the roots OF all local regulation Of commerce;
that II declares that requiring license OF
drummers Is regulation of commerce, and
such licenses can only be required by Con-
gress, and the latter can only exercise such
power under the constitutional restriction that
the operation Of It's laws shall be uniform.
